Its Alive

Well I hate to say it but my Clown Goby has joined the dark side... It's eating my milli. I want to keep him but I dont have another tank. Could I place that little fish in JBJ's 3 gallon pico tank?

Bump?

Might be a little tight but then again, clown gobies are not exactly large or demanding of larger tanks

I lost all my 6 hard corals to the gobys. I have 2 and between them they picked them clean in 3 months So i would rehome either the hard coral or the fish. They just areent compatible in a small area with small frags.

Sorry about your clown goby LittleMe. But this is my plan: I'm going to bring the clown goby back to my lfs, they said they could give me a small frag in return and hopefully I will have healthier corals.

Just checked my water to
pH:8.0
Nirate:10
Nirite:0
Everything else normal
Phosphates a little high

Is there any corals that people want to see in my tank? Need some suggestions.

During acc.

THis pic shows its colors better.

NIce macro shot.

And the clown goby.

Does this look like death of the coral. (the big white areas)

Please help guys!!!

Looks more like a Favia to me, not an Acanthastrea

As for the SPS, anyway to get a more in-focus pic?

Since I moved the sps I've seen fanatical growth in the tips as it is growing back.

Some bad news... I got home today and found my cleaner shrimp mutilated and being eaten my the fish... This is the first loss I've been mad about. And I think the culprit is a gorilla crab that came on my tonga rock in the 4th month. It killed both my peppermint shrimp and the cleaner. Hopefully it can get the pistol shrimp too.( I wouldn't mind his death) I havent seen the crab but I have found his claw moltings. This things gonna get a fight.

I had a "killer crab" which also took out a couple of shrimps, right bugger to catch, tried bottle traps, for ages, luring it out a grabbing it with tweezers, but was only able to get it when I moved house and tore down the rockwork
